Streaming sticks are the best way to add streaming services to your TV, monitor, or laptop.
Video Quality
The quality of the stream is the most critical aspect when weighing these two models.
Thankfully, both options support4Kvideo playback.
Both the Roku and Fire TV Stick also support Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
Each has dedicated volume and playback controls and multi-function directional buttons that run on AAA batteries.
While they both include voice search, the Fire TV Stick 4K is slightly more responsive.
Both remotes can also substitute for your handy TV remote.
Mobile apps are available for both devices but drastically differ in their approach.
Some estimates say the Roku has nearly 10,000 more apps than Amazon’s streaming stick.
However, the Roku platform hosts a more extensive library of apps and channels.
(Unless you need Alexa functionality built into your remote.)
